Scheiße Lyrics

I don't speak German
But I can if you like. (Ow! )

Ich shleiban austa be clair
es kumpent madre monstère ,
aus-be aus-can-be flaugen
begun be üske but-bair !

Ich schleiban austa be clair
es kumpent madre monstère
aus-be...

   This song as a whole seems to be a lot about female empowerment, and freedom from an oppressive and dominating force in general.
   
   "high heeled feminist, fight for your right', 'if you're a strong female, you don't need permission' and 'I wish I could dance without somebody there' all demonstrate this. I get images of a frustrated girlfriend or housewife who finally can explode into a ecstatic state of utter freedom and happiness after her controlling and dominating boyfriend/husband finally leaves.
   
   "without the schisse, yeah!' probably refers the boyrfried. He is the shit and she is rejoicing at his abscence.
   
   Maybe the reason she includes gibberish german sounding words is to reflect how the girl feels so free now hes gone. Like sometimes when you feel powerful you run around jumping into the air and stuff thinking 'I can do anything I want, woohoo!' kind of stuff. Like Gaga says 'I don't speak german but I can if you like. Ow!'

   It's about "women power". She uses fake German in the song making us think it's real German - (fooling men) - a woman's power to deceive. "I'll take you out tonight, say whatever you'd like" - she'll say whatever men want to hear but in truth she's fooling them and mocking them.
   
   Don't mess with Gaga, guys!

   I seriously think there is a lot of french in the beginning. I’m not completely fluent yet but I am leaning the language and parts like “be-clair” And “monsteré” seems to be of a french background. Monsteré is not pronounced the same as actual french but I do think it had some of that origin. I dunno. Just food for thought.

    Lady Gaga used more than one language. It's not just German.

    I think her use of German is an allusion to the poorly constructed term 'feminazi'. Saying "I don't speak German, but I can if you like" for me, is saying, a Feminist is not as 'militant' as a lot of people claim to be (apparently fighting for equal rights is just like the Holocaust), but we can be if you think we're weak we're going to take shit. Don't push us.

    This song has French, Spanish, German, and Latin(as far as I can tell) and to the top interpretation: aus-be aus-can-be is translated to listen-listen be-be iin Latin. At least that's what Google Translate told me(:

    First of all, it's good to know that Scheiße is German for sh**. I think this is about being yourself and the power to be bold. Some examples of this are "Scheiße, Scheiße, be mine, Scheiße be mine!" (Sh**, Sh** be mine, Sh** be mine!"); "If you're a strong female, you don't need permission" and "I wish I could dance on a single prayer, I wish I could be strong without the Scheiße(sh**), yeah!". These all signify the bold and driven inner self that in society today can't come out (I wish I could be strong without the sh** yeah)
    That's what I think.

    I believe that this is based around, say, a teenaged girl recently getting out of a bad relationship.
    
    "Without this shit, yeah" refers to the drama of the breakup.

    It shows her infantile obsession with shit, as well as her inability to write anything with meaning, logic or emotion. When people are obsessed with using 'bad words' to shock others or to gain attention, such people are usually diagnosed as mentally ill. That should explain the entire entity of the untalented, mechanical music machine which calls itself gaga... perhaps she will change her name to Lady Caca.

    A creative medley of different languages (German, Spanish) and jibberish. The words can be incoherate babble because they're fun and interesting to sing. : )
